The first of December means a lot of different things, the last month of the year but also the brightest and our personal favorite. It’s the start of a month long celebrations, and December means that we can officially express all our Christmas excitement! We love to infuse the Christmas spirit in every corner of our life and now of our blog too. For this first day we wanted something rather special and what a better way to start this month than talk about one of the most festive city in the world? Ladies and Gentleman: London.

We know that this travel diary comes a year later but since we have started the blog few months after, this is the first actual opportunity to tell you about this trip. So let’s call this a throw back #traveldiary but don’t worry London’s Christmas spirit never go out of style.

We both have been in London before and we love how dynamic, mind-blowing and so british this city is. We wanted to return but not in any other period. We needed to walk the elegant streets wrapped up in our favourite maxi coat, drink a hot tea watching the rain outside, see Oxford street all light up with million sparkling fairylights and all the the incredible christmas decorations, and live the crazy buzz of London getting ready for Christmas’ day.

A Christmas theme trip, the perfect one for this time of the year, no matters how months have passed. Now stop rambling because we could talk for ages.

This is our personal little guide of things to do in London at Christmas time.

Inside Hyde Park you can find an enchanted world for all who love Christmas magic. This place seems to come from a kid’s dream because it’s all you dream of during your childhood. Santa Land, a lot of different attractions, Christmas markets, candy floss -fudge- pretzel and in the background Christmas songs.

In London you can find picturesque Christmas markets. We had the chance to explore Tate Modern Christmas market and the famous Southbank markets. Cute little wooden chalets fill with gorgeous decorations, nutcrackers, delicious food and sweet treats. This is the perfect time to try out Mulled Wine, it smells divine.

We know nobody could ever miss a trip to Oxford Street especially during this time of the year. The perfect place for a shopping session ! Talking about shopping you can miss the amazing window of famous department stores like Selfridges, Liberty, Harrods. They are simply stunning.

If you are in the mood for a ice skate session the Natural History Museum Ice Rink it’s the perfect location like one of those in Christmas movies. Be sure to go after twilight. It’s so magical and romantic with all the fairy lights, the carousel and a marvelous Christmas tree.
